USA Baseball

Coaching Clinic 2023

Returns to Aruba on

October 14th & 15th

THE eagerly anticipated USA Baseball Coaching Clinic, in collab-
oration with local enthusiasts, is set to return on October 14th and

15th. This year, the clinic features three distinguished coaches
from the USA Baseball coaching staff who will provide valuable
training, share their experiences, and impart knowledge on the
sport of baseball.

The program officially kicks off on Saturday, October 14th, with
Coaching Session 1 (theory) from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the
University of Aruba. On Sunday, October 15th, Coaching Session

2 (practice) will take place from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the field.
There is a maximum capacity of 80 coaches for this session. The
participation fee is AWG 50, which covers expenses and includes
two coaching sessions (Saturday & Sunday), refreshments (water

and Gatorade), cookies (Saturday), and a light lunch (Sunday)
for all participants. Managers, coaches, and leaders are warmly
invited to register online at https://bit.ly/coachclinic2023.

The primary goal of organizing this event once again is to expand
the knowledge of coaches in Aruba who are dedicated to improving
themselves while also preparing their players better. In 2022, the
clinic reached its maximum number of participants, and based on

valuable feedback from coaches, some adjustments have been
made to the program content, all aimed at benefiting baseball in
Aruba. Furthermore, during the registration process, participants
can provide input on the specific areas they wish to focus on,

allowing for a more personalized clinic experience. This is indeed
a unique opportunity for all involved.

Baseball in Aruba thrives on the passion and dedication of volun-

teers who have an unwavering love for the sport. By combining
this enthusiasm with a thirst for knowledge and improvement,
positive developments can undoubtedly be expected in the world
of Aruban baseball.

Participants can prepare for two intense days with coaches
Drew Briese, Steve Butler, and Andrew Bartman, each bringing
their area of expertise to contribute to the success of this clinic.

Special thanks go to Sport Subsidie for their belief in and finan-
cial support of this clinic, made possible with the help of baseball
volunteers in Aruba.
The USA Baseball Coaching Clinic promises to be an enriching

experience for all involved, further fueling the passion for base-
ball in Aruba.
